Transcript: “You know, I sleep with three dogs. It’s like they give you an unconditional love. There is no love like a dog’s love. There’s none. Usually, an abandoned dog, it’s been abused, and it’s a little frigid. Pretty soon in two, three days, you see their little tails wagging, and it’s the greatest feeling in the world to know that I brought that dog in from the cold. Dogs are our responsibility. We brought them into our fire. And I really believe that we are failing in our responsibilities if you see all the dogs that are running the streets. I think it goes even a little deeper than that. I think I got a chance at life, and I think a lot of these dogs never had that. And so, what a blessing to be able to give somebody a chance.”
